Neuroscientist researching the neuro-computational basis of human decision-making, beliefs, and subjective emotional states. My primary academic interests are anything relating to predictive processing, nonlinear dynamical systems, neuroeconomics, and artificial intelligence.
Outside of academia I enjoy:
- Philosophy (mainly theory of mind and epistemology)
- Music (theory, composition, transcription, alternative tuning systems)
- Programming (R, Python)
- Mathematics (data science and related applied fields)
- Gaming (mostly PC these days)
- Creating maps for Doom/ZDoom
- I'm open to all music but my favorite genres are: Electroacoustic, orchestral, progressive house, video game OSTs, Jazz/Big Band from 40's-60's, and extreme metal (death metal, black metal, etc.)
- Sci-fi and fantasy (Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Dan Simmons, J.R.R. Tolkien, etc)
- Tabletop-RPGs (mostly Dungeons and Dragons)
- Hiking, weight training, running
- Cooking
